In the United States, a three-digit number can be dialed/called that will connect you to an emergency assistance call center.

Apparently, the young men below hadn’t yet gotten the memo that the old number, 0-5-1, is no longer in use.

However, we appreciate their enthusiasm and give them a “thumbs up” for their effort!:

Congrats to my secondary school alma mater, the Central Cougars, for their win last night — your coach seems to have found the magic formula this year.

And finally, we ask the police department not to do any more favours for the University of Tennessee – Knoxville men’s football team, such as providing locker room material that, “just in case” our team beats a longtime rival, the police will prevent fans from entering the field of play to celebrate.  You jinx our team one more time and you better believe that we’ll accelerate the decrease in your pension plan, especially that of your leaders, “just in case” you don’t get the message the first time.  Yeah, that’s right — it’s a direct challenge!  Some of us would rather see a few broken bones and injuries amongst the diehard fans after we’ve annihilated our sports enemies than sit at home and mop up our spilled beer in defeat.
